Nothing substantive or valuable was a takeaway for anyone. It was just more of the same more of the same more of the same attack attack attack attack attack. Did they jump the shark in Debate #2 and it's all over but the shouting? Who is gonna watch #3 when #2 was so abysmally tedious and uninteresting?

Life on planet earth forever more. Will it ever be thus or can we look forward to the day we all grow up and learn how to be our better selves?

Keep focusing on the irrelevant past so you can let Hillary stomp you on election day. Maybe you should grow up, stop acting like a child, and tell us all the things you PROMISE to do without mentioning Bill or Hillary again. Can you do that or are you truly out of control and obsessed/possessed? How does what Bill did or didn't do have anything to do with you or what you plan to do for we the people? Why do you continue to deflect/redirect rather than moving on and laying out YOUR credentials, YOUR plans, YOUR promises? Unless you have none. less

Not with a bang but a whimper.I have miles to go before I sleep and promi8ses to keep. Trump is still ranting and raving about Bill Clinton. Has he transferred his bromance from Putin to Bill? Secret man-crush?
It would be completely objective. It would choose the best possible action absent political partisanship and human subjectivity/prejudice. What could it hurt? What do we have to lose?

It will be able to "read" all papers that come out and digest the info and can be used as a source for doctorswho are diagnosing. Something like 8000 papers a day are released on the subject. Doctors cannot possibly keep up with the literature. They often don't know about the newest advances because they didn't have the time to read about it. What do you think of Watson?

Robots don't die so I suppose they could exist forever. Is this something else for humans to fear or something they should welcome/embrace?

I Saw how German prisoners are treated and it looks like they are on vacation at a high-class resort. Seriously. Anyone else see "60 Minutes" on Sunday? The difference between how American imprisoned folks are treated and those in Germany is staggeringly unbelievable. Do you think their way is better? Our way isn't working.

Try to make our lives meaningful by participating and leaving good tracks behind as we keep trying to make things better, help one another. If all we do is worship God and wait for the day He will take us up to be with Him isn't that a life wasted? If we do nothing for our fellow man and are only devout to our religion and remain detached and removed from the process of living how did we make a difference in the world? What do we leave behind that was of any value? Shouldn't we aspire to do good works and be a positive influence for good? less

On her way to work one morningDown the path along side the lakeA tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snakeHis pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you""Take me in tender womanTake me in, for heaven's sakeTake me in, tender woman," sighed the snakeShe wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silkAnd laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived"Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sakeTake me in, tender woman," sighed the snakeShe clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite"Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sakeTake me in, tender woman," sighed ... less

What is your honest reaction/thoughts about that. Why do you think this way. Also have you worn them at all or not?
Will you accept a challenge to wear an unused plastic garbage, trash, bin bag/liner as clothing in a pic or video. Why or why not? Do you accept or not?

I've always wanted to know more of the history of my country's neighbor to the south, and this spurns me to delve deeper.

I click on the link from the group page, and it brings up a dialogue box asking if I want to continue or not. Neither button works. How do I access adultmug?
It was from the late 1970s and involved a robot called Proteus. Gosh I loved that movie. Made me have a new fantasy as well :D Proteus's voice is so nice too :D

AND....I know this has been talked about a lot, but..... There are thousands of replies on my email now. I can't get rid of them. Every time someone comments on here I get all the replies on my email now? I hear there is some way to dismantle that thing, but it has yet to dismantle from anything I've tried.This is just a big mish-mosh now. It was a lot easier before. But I don't see any "improvements" at all on this site except for a few ways to change the font, etc. I cannot even post a picture on here. What is the big improvement besides the fact that no one can even see anyone anymore? Is that an improvement? If you don't want to personally call someone on here and chat one on one? There does not seem to be much of a public chatroom any longer.Where is... less
